a student answered 86% of the questions on a test correctly. he received a grade of 98%. how many questions were on the test?

Let the number of questions on the test equal X which would be 100%

They answered 86 which equaled 98

Set up a ratio:

X/86 = 100/98

Cross multiply:

98X = 8600

Divide both sides by 98:

X = 87.75

Round to 87 questions

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
